Editor’s Commentary: Generally, I hate headlines that invoke “Biblical” events, especially when it comes to things like natural disasters. As a Bible-believer, I’m not one who throws the term “Biblical” around lightly. An event needs to be metaphorically similar to the Biblical counterpart in order for it to not make me cringe when I see it in the headlines. It’s sort of like when someone speaks metaphorically and invokes the word “literally.” No, folks, your head did not “literally explode” just now.
In this case, calling what’s happening in China right how “Biblical floods” is appropriate. They’re not literally Biblical (see what I did there?) because every man, woman, child, and animal in China is NOT being purged, save eight blessed souls as what happened in Genesis. But these floods are very bad. God said in the Bible He would not destroy the earth by water again, but that doesn’t mean He won’t use floods to send a message. While I’m not one who claims divine messages are sent with every natural disaster (though they might be), this one seems pretty darn devastating.
We are clearly entering into a stage of human existence in which it’s safe to start looking for signs. For years, I balked at “Bible” prophecy experts who claimed Obama was the Antichrist or that Christ would rapture the church on a particular date. Today, I’m keeping my eyes open. One never knows when our time comes. Here’s the article by Ethan Huff cross-posted from Natural News…
Shocking new footage out of Zhengzhou, China, shows a trainload of stranded passengers waiting for help as devastating floodwaters rise within the train car.
A government-run Chinese paper posted the below video to its Twitter account showing people patiently waiting in chest-deep murky water for rescue as floodwaters apparently rise all around them:

The region where this occurred apparently received its highest-ever amount of rain in a single day, resulting in widespread devastation, much like what is also being reported out of Germany where flooding is causing massive damage.
The below video offers another look outside of a subway train as floodwaters rush along like a giant muddy river below ground:

According to the BBC, rescue crews have been busily working to extract as many people as they can from flooded subway tubes before water levels reach too high a level for survival. The process has reportedly been a challenge, to say the least.
The below video shows some of the flooding in Germany, as a torrential river flows at high speed through an old city street:

In China, loss of life is being reported all over the place as area residents get swept away in the rushing floodwaters. The below video (viewer discretion is advised) shows various scenes that people captured of people being swept away, cars sinking beneath the surface, and even a street collapsing as people fall into it:
Aluminum factory explodes, nearby dam on the verge of bursting
One Chinese person uploaded a video to Twitter showing an aluminum factory exploding like some kind of nuclear fireworks show, allegedly due to the flooding – watch below:

The People’s Liberation Army is also warning that the Yihetan Dam in the center of China “could collapse at any time” due to unprecedented water flow that caused substantial damage to its structure.
The worst part is that the rains have not stopped and are expected to continue for at least another 24 hours, which will result in even more damage and loss of life. When will it end, many are now wondering?
Last summer, the Three Gorges Dam in China’s Hubei province was on the verge of bursting due to similarly excessive rains that caused the structure to become “deformed slightly,” according to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The largest dam in the world, the Three Gorges Dam reached its highest level ever since it first opened back in 2003. It is still operating, but nobody really knows for how long as the rain situation in China intensifies.
Heavy rainfall between July 9-11 caused a substantial rise in the water level of the Yangtze River, which feeds into the reservoir behind the Three Gorges Dam. At the time, the dam was receiving a daily inflow of water of up to 10,000 cubic meters per second.
“China’s massive Three Gorges Dam is showing signs of failing and 400 million people living downstream wouldn’t stand a chance if it collapsed,” one Infowars commenter warned about that situation.
As for Zhengzhou, we should know in the coming days the extent of the damage caused by the flooding that is taking place there, which has already left the city substantially devastated.
“Last year China had floods that inundated between 9 and 13 million acres of farmland,” wrote another.
“This past May they had earthquakes of 6.1 and 7.3, although we never saw any damage reports – no surprise there. This month they’ve had flooding in 20 of 27 provinces and dams are being threatened, including reports of the Three Gorges Dam leaking and deforming under the pressure of all of the water.”

New Conservative Network Seeks Crowdfunding Help
They say we have to go big or go home. We’re trying to go big and bring the patriotic truth the the nation, but we need help.
Readers may or may not realize that over the past year, we’ve been bringing more conservative news and opinion outlets under our wing. Don’t take our expansion as a sign of riches; all of the “acquisitions” have been through sweat and promises of greater things to come for all involved. As a result, we’ve been able to bring together several independent media sites under a unified vision of preventing America from succumbing to the progressive, “woke,” Neo-Marxist ideologies that are spreading like wildfire across America.
The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).
To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $3000-$7000 per month. In other words, we’re in the red and hemorrhaging.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring the truth to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
